Every email that Modular Mailer sends is based on a template. Use the Email Template Editor to create new email templates or to edit existing email templates used with Modular Mailer.
This page can be found through [Design > Modular Mailer (Bulk Email) > Email Templates > + ].
Select an Email Template
Use the dropdown menu to either create a new email template or to select a previously created template for editing.
Email Header Options
Subject
Enter text to appear in the subject line of the email.
From
Enter the email address to be used as the From email address.
BCC-To
Optionally enter an email address here to receive a blind carbon copy of each email sent using this template.
Plain Text Version of Message
Use this field to add the body of the email in plain text.
HTML Version of Message
Use this field to add the body of the email in HTML. Either paste in HTML code from a 3rd party HTML editor, or use the built-in HTML editor to create the HTML code on the spot.
tip It is possible to use the Email Template Editor to send all text emails, all HTML emails, or both. If both are used, typically the recipient's email program will discard the text version if it is capable of reading HTML emails, or the HTML version if it can only read text versions.
